Depends who was chasing him. Wouldn't have been Ellis, he'd have been sacking it off in the pub, clearly.

Abdull has gone well for us. He has been very good in the 2 cup games. His kicking and game management are improving.

Keeps his motivation up and he will be a very good player.

Clearly improving under a better headcoach.

Hope we keep him.

I should hope he is playing better, playing regularly and against builders and shop workers.

There is no doubt Sheens has done well in the NRL, but so far hasn't proved he is a better SL coach than Radford, his style of play is very dull and you have to question why such a big improvement at Salford with virtually the same players?

I wonder if he's allowed to play against us in the middle 8's?

builders and shopworkers and you have griffin and connor playing for you jesus

Maybe because of the structure"s and building blocks TS put in place at Salford last year they are reaping the benefits of this season?

Sheens wasn't Salfords coach

Yes but it's not going to happen

I know, but he will have had a say into how the team played etc, otherwise what were they paying him to do?

To be honest I'm only replying to the Rovers trolls and having a bit of fun.

Got to keep my spirits up in these dark days Frankie

Banter aside, it's amazing what Watson has done this year, really improved his players and getting the best out of them, such as Welham. Same with Chester at Wakey.

It is, shows that its really small margins between a good and a poor year. You would have got good odds on those 2 being near the top at this stage.

Think Carvell got it right this week, when he tales about injuries, I reckon the top 2 have had the least amount of injuries this year, Particularly to key players.

tell Radford then

What, Super League Coach of the Year? That Radford?

Rovers losing the mag is probably going to be a 12 point swing for us this season when you factor in the 6 easy points in the derbies against 2 defeats by Salford and the hammering at magic

don't worry the rfl are begging us to come back next year

Only if those defeats each led to a 2 point deduction.

Somewhere there is a very disappointed retired Maths teacher. And not just because her son pretends to be a goose on the Internet.

Yeah fair point, although we were so bad in the 2 games so far we probably deserved to be docked points

He's done very well. That's despite all those terrible recruits Sheens got in for him and all those terrible habits he taught him.
He looks a good coach so far Watson but he's the first to recognise the help he got.
Injuries, particularly to 1,6,7 and 9 have a big say on anyone's season. You got none last year and went well. This year not so lucky.
Salford have had no injuries in those positions so far.

A different thread a different poster but yet the same style of insulting innuendo.

You just can't help yourself can you?

Heaven forbid anyone's opinion differs to yours or views the club in anything other than the shining light you do.

Yet you write us of during games and have us already pegged for the middle 8s, you couldn't make it up.

Radford is dining out on the cup win and relatively fully fit squad of last season but it's now we see what he and others are made of.

Again no one is calling for his head but question his credentials when coaches in Watson and Powell are performing well.

I came on here to read about Abdul but see nothing but petty squables and tripe innuendo.
Silly me for thinking anything other.

They also seem to have ramped up a notch or two since they binned carney off

Blimey, the Dobbins (the only full time side in a part time league) string a few wins together and suddenly they have the greatest coach the world has ever seen. Not only that, all of Salfords success is down to him as well.
Wow.
